Betania's Lasagna

Betania's Lasagna

This is a very basic Lasagna.  You can add Italian Sausage or meatballs to your sauce and to the Lasagna.  This is one of my favorites!  It also has a "special" name!

Ingredients:

1 Pound of Lasagna noodles

Basic Tomato Sauce (recipe on blog)

1 Large container of Ricotta Cheese (DO NOT USE COTTAGE CHEESE!!)

1 Large container of fresh Mozzarella cheese (packed in water)

1 egg

1 Tablespoon of chopped Parsley

2 Cups Basic Bechamel Sauce

Romano or Parmesan Cheese

Boil the noodles until "al dente," drain well but do not rinse.  Mix the Ricotta Cheese with 1 egg, add parsley.

Add a layer of Basic Tomato Sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish.  Layer the noodles.  Spread a layer of Ricotta Cheese mix onto the noodles.  Add 1/3 of the Bechamel Sauce, add Tomato Sauce, add 1/2 of the Mozzarella, add a handful of Parmesan or Romano Cheese.  Continue layering all of the ingredients are used. Put in oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Watch carefully and make sure the cheese on the top does not burn.

Buon Appetito!
